Lyrics
The song tells of a man recovering from illness, but feeling better. Yet his friends insist on telling him, one after the other, that he looks "queer" (that is, strange or different). He comes to believe that he must indeed be close to death, but revives after a visit to an undertaker's.[2][3]
